Hi, this is my first time speaking here.
I have an HP Pavilion 17 cc0xx with an Nvidia 940MX gpu. I didn’t pick it, my sister gave it to me after windows ran too slow for her. I installed ubuntu first, and then I switched to Debian Trixie like 2-3 weeks ago.
I would not have come here if it wasn’t a last resort. I have an assignment due in 1 hour for my algorithms class. I have spent 5 hours on this, and I’ve tried everything I can think of.
My KDE desktop fails to start after the login screen and splash kde screen. I log in,
I know, this issue is well-documented and there a re forum posts for it everywhere, but I swear I have looked through every one I could find and every solution didn’t work.
I have tried reinstalling my nvidia drivers, I’ve tried just running startx, I’ve tried every remedy on the dedicated wiki page, but nothing is working. I saw somewhere the steam might be messing with plasma because of proprietary antics, and I tried their remedy and it did not work.
I am desperate. Does anyone know of anything that could help this issue? I will supply you with whatever resources you desire.
Thank you,
fred-dursley
